Yes, this is an island, but the rest of the list is all on the mainland. But, if you\u2019ve got the time, the dime and the adrenaline for an adventure then I recommend Kangaroo Island. On the west side of the island is Flinders Chase, a national park that is crawling with kangaroos. Wallaby\u2019s, echidnas, koalas and more can be seen in this beautiful park. The island is truly magical and a great place to spot these animals in the wild.

The rugged outback haven called Flinders Ranges is a top location for spotting wildlife and is also a completely insane adventure waiting to happen. This gigantic national park has all the kangaroos and wallaby\u2019s you could wish for. It\u2019s a great place for walks, but remember to pack sunscreen, you know what, pack double the sunscreen you\u2019re thinking.

The open-range wildlife park; Urimbirra Wildlife Park, is the perfect place to see kangaroos south of Adelaide. Urimbirra has kangaroos that jump around freely, and the best part is you can feed them! These guys love your attention and always ready to eat some Roo Food (only $1 at entrance!) You can also pet a koala, hold a snake and see dozens of other native Australian animals. Feed an emu, see the beautiful cassowary and see the mighty dingo.

This 10\/10 bushland is 25 minutes from Adelaide City Centre and is a great place to take the kids! Tennis courts, picnic benches, amazing hikes, fantastic short walks and plenty of wildlife. Wild emus and wild kangaroos can be seen in the park and there are more koalas then you could dream up! I once saw 23 koalas on a hike there last year! It\u2019sn amazing place that is deserving of your picnic next weekend.
